THE NEW YORKER for the Florida race is ùn February 18th and the California one on Februar} 25th. ...A.II he'd need is a plane tIcket. AS you may remember, shortly after n. the new Greater New York As- sociation took over control of the Long Island tracks last autumn, we were told that its first job, as soon as the season was over, would be to give Aqueduct a badly needed face lifting and make the racecourse over-a job that should take at least six man ths. With a progress report in mind, I dropped over there the other morning, and I can tel] you that all the stables are empty-Mr. Fitz's horses were the last to go-but that the place ]ooks as unimproved as it did when we left it in September. However, I suppose that any day now we'll be hearing what's planned for Aqueduct in the spring Y OU can count Prince John, the Elmendorf Farm colt who won the Garden State Stakes, out of all his spring and early-summer engagements. At Hialeah the other morning, he got out of hand while he was walking in front of his barn, and ran away in the stable area. When he was caught, it was dis- covered that he had broken a small bone in his right front foot. . . . All kinds of things happen to horses Nail, Mrs. An- son Bigelow's gray colt who won a couple of Futurities in the fall, and more prize money ($239,930) than any oth- er two-year-old in 1955, was on hIS way to Florida several weeks ago when the railroad car in front of his caught fire. He got a bad scare, and a d 4 y or two later suffered an attack of colic. He's quite all right again, but he's doing only light training. As you probably know, Nail's best races were in sloppy going. Well, his pals in the stable are eight mallard ducks -AlTDAx lVIINOR . Dr. William G.
